Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My dad had been unhappy in a number of other nursing homes costing way more than St George's Lodge.


We moved to St George's on a friend's recommendation.


All the staff and owners are extremely caring and accommodating. The rooms are comfortable and homely and clean


The staff arrange outings

and activities for the residents and proactively interact with me to let me know what's going on.


If there is a negative comment I find the plates the food are served on are bizarrely small or bowl like. Which means my dad tends to push the food off the plate or has difficulty cutting stuff. Volume and quality of food are good. But bigger flatter plates would be great.


Having seen several homes now I would have no qualms about recommending this lovely family run nursing home


Reply from Emma Wood, Director at St George's Lodge

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm really pleased you are finding your fathers stay at St Georges caring and accommodating. With regard to your father's dinner plate; we have now offered him a larger plate with all meals. I'm sorry this was a concern, but now we are aware we are happy to change the size of plates used for meal times. I hope your father enjoys the rest of his stay with us. Please don't hesitate to contact us if any other problems arise.

My mum chose St George's Lodge from a recommendation of a friend. Homely, friendly, efficient, caring, an exceptional care home at a very fair price. The staff are a good team and enjoy their work very much, a family feel to the home.
Mum and myself often said how fortunate we were for mum to be a
resident here.

If you are reading this you will already know that all is not well in the care home industry. You would have visited places that you think could not exist in a civilised society. This is the one to regain your faith in care homes. My mum stayed for two years until her dementia got to a stage only a
specialist home could cope. People are happy here, food is good – so mum tells me, and the staff are caring and kind. Worthing’s best.

My mother arrived at the home in may for a two week trial and has happily stayed there since. She was made welcome by staff and residents and any requests for particular food or drink were immediately acted on. We have installed a TV and telephone in her room, so she has all the advantages of home,
without the worry of cooking and cleaning. The meals are excellent and the staff are very attentive and caring. We have recommended this home to a friend who has also moved in.

My aunt moved into St Georges Lodge about six months ago. A drastic change for anyone to make in their lives, but I can relate that she seems happy with the cleanliness of the home, the staff and they will always try to accommodate any requests in food. I have been made to feel welcome as a visitor
and always offered a welcome cup of tea. The staff have always been willing to discuss any queries concerning my aunt.

Came in for a week in may for respite, have moved in permanently in September. Lovely size room, excellent food, plus the care is first class. It takes time to settle after living on your own.

this is the best care home I have stayed in and I would recommend it to friends and family. The food is excellent and the home is great value for money. The staff would do anything for you and are very good. The doctors and nurses that visit are excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for St George's Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.873 for St George's Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.873

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St George's Lodge is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
